Member Testimonials
I really love Sarah L. and Megan H.’s yoga classes. I always leave feeling refreshed and am sad when I’m not able to make it. I wish there were more classes with them that I could work into my schedule.
They are good to help people stay healthy and strong.
I'm a swimmer and enjoy the pool
I really love that there are so many different spaces to work out in. Also, staff are always nice and I have absolutely loved working with Steve Herron for coach approach - its really made a difference for me and I've been working out a lot more! Thank you Steve!
The workout equipment
Friendly and supportive. Clean and safe environment. The pool and spa are almost always in working condition. So many activities for all ages.
The classes and friendly staff members always very helpful and supportive.
I love this YMCA it's so homey, it feels like your family there
The Community and collegiat feeling of daily walking with my neighbirs at the Y is amazing! It also gives me access to convenient exercise all over the city and in other parts of the country!
There is a great variety of activities from which to choose.
it’s very chill- not a high strung environment like other gyms
Love the classes and community!
I am benefiting from the coach approach and learning how to get back into exercise. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
More high intensity classes in the 6am time slot
Also - the HIIT room needs a rower and a bike instead of two bikes
Barbell upstairs will be nice in that room too
Classes, pool, location, hours open, community involvement
Your facilities, especially your aquatic center are always operational
I enjoy the Yoga classes. The classes are not as intense as a class in a Yoga studio, but the classes serves my needs. All of the instructors are great. I enjoy swimming and all the staff at the front are nice.
I do have one complaint. The lockers in the men’s locker room should be cleaned. Locker #126 has had clothes in it for the last three weeks. And one lady was very rude while dragging a mannequin thru the pool. My swim was interrupted by her. I was asking her a question, and she just screamed you need to get out of this lane.
I like how it serves the community and provides a variety of activities.
I appreciate the Active Older Adult program and would like to see music and art offerings
Fits my needs and I could depend on things working well
I like the class instructors for line dance and active adult strength and cardio classes. Linda and Cindy are very knowledgeable and make their classes a lot of fun.
ALL YOUR PROGRAMS ARE GREAT AND THE STAFF IS TOP RATE. THE BUILDING IS INVITING AND EVERY THING IN IT IS TOP RATE.
Just what I need as a senior-pool and fellowship ❤️
I love the walking track, weight room, swimming pool and sauna, and the group classes at East Lake Y.
Classes but would love more mid day yoga, Pilates and barre. It’s sad that only the Decatur location offered midday classes between noon and two. The Barre class at noon at Decatur is always so packed you can’t even get a spot. I feel like if there was a noon or one offering a barre or Pilates at Eastlake it would be incredibly packed as well.

The atmosphere, the location, the choices and the instructors.
I don't really take classes but I use the facilities (weight room, machines, hot tub). The atmosphere at the East Lake Family YMCA is always inviting and friendly. The staff is helpful and kind. The facility is well maintained and clean. A great place to work out!
The total atmosphere! However, some members have been observed producing and recording videos of themselves while working out. This may be an invasion of privacy of the other members.
I don't do a lot of classes --- just one. But, I have to say, Karen (Y Core on M, W, F) is amazing. So positive. Welcoming. Helpful. She's a keeper and I hope she stays for a LOOONG time
Cleanliness and variety
